    Dell Inspiron 14 7437

    I took off the HDD and made a clean install of win8 on my mSATA
    But I found I cannot put my 500GB HDD back to the laptop
    The screen showed no operation system can be found

    In BIOS, it was set for using second hard drive (mSATA) for boot

    I don't know why when I put the HDD back it cannot start from mSATA

    the HDD was cleaned by using diskpart, and there is only one primary partition, and inactive

    please help me on this. Thanks!
